Since 1997, Mike Cunningham, owner of Cunningham Restaurant Group (CRG), has created an array of unforgettable dining experiences for guests and local communities.

Today, CRG encompasses 40+ restaurants across 18+ unique concepts, with a continued focus on sustainable growth and operational excellence.

As we continue to grow, we're seeking an experienced General Manager to join our leadership team in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This is a unique opportunity to lead CRG dining within the Electric Works building, one of the region's most exciting mixed-use developments and hospitality destinations.

This role is ideal for a highly adaptable hospitality leader who thrives in dynamic environments and is energized by variety.

We're looking for a leader who can seamlessly shift between concepts while maintaining operational excellence, developing strong teams, and delivering exceptional guest experiences. Success in this role requires strong business acumen, a hands-on leadership style, and the ability to build culture across multiple teams and operating models.

Customer Experience:
- Ensure an unparalleled fine dining experience for all guests by maintaining the highest standards of service and quality.
- Address and resolve guest concerns promptly and professionally.
- Regularly interact with customers to gather feedback and ensure their satisfaction.
Financial Management:
- Develop and manage the restaurant budget, controlling costs, and optimizing revenue.
- Implement effective inventory management and cost control strategies.
- Analyze financial reports and make data-driven decisions to improve profitability.
Operational Excellence:
- Oversee day-to-day operations, including reservations, food and beverage service, and kitchen operations.
- Maintain and uphold all health, safety, and sanitation standards and regulations.
- Collaborate with the Kitchen Manager to create and update the menu.
- Be prepared to actively participate in cooking in the kitchen based on volume and needs.
Marketing and Promotion:
- Collaborate with the marketing team to develop and execute marketing strategies and promotions.
- Drive initiatives to increase restaurant visibility and attract new customers.
- Engage in awareness of local activities while also building relationships in the surrounding communities.
Vendor and Supplier Relations:
- Manage relationships with suppliers to ensure timely and quality delivery of products.

Qualifications:

Proven experience as a General Manager in a full-service restaurant environment. Experience leading all types of concepts preferred.
Ability to work varying hours; including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Exceptional leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills.
Strong business acumen and financial management skills.
Thorough knowledge of food and beverage operations, service standards, and industry trends.
Ability to work effectively under pressure and in a fast-paced environment.
Proficient in restaurant management software and point-of-sale systems.

Physical Requirements:
